Installing The Application
Install the out-of-the-box Interaction Workspace application on an end-user desktop. The installation contains only the agent application. Use these procedures if you are not going to use the ClickOnce centralized deployment.
- Some releases of Workspace include Workspace language packs (localized User Interface and Help). These procedures include information about how to install language packs either as part of the Workspace deployment or after you have deployed Workspace.
- Genesys recommends that you always install the release of Workspace for which the language pack was developed rather than installing a language pack on a previously deployed release of Workspace. For example, you should not install an 8.5.1 language pack on top of an 8.5.0 release of Workspace; doing so might result in some UI text being displayed in English or some UI elements being incorrectly labelled.
- If you are not deploying from the Workspace International CD/DVD, you must manually add Language Packs to your deployment package.
